People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 502: Class Judgement Begins

—————June 7, 1:30 p.m.——————

—————Teitan Elementary School, Class Judges Meeting——————

The class trial was about to begin, and the originally excited Junior Detective Team was now a little hesitant, because based on the information they had obtained so far, they were still not sure where exactly Yazaki Yasuji's money had disappeared.

In this case, it is still unknown whether Haibara Ai is the murderer who stole the money. Although this is only a school judgement, the Junior Detective Team, as lawyers, have the obligation to prove the client's innocence.

"In court, whether the defendant is guilty or not depends on the performance of the lawyer."

Xiang Yuanguang stood at the defense table, tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, and spoke seriously.

"Mitsuhiko, Genta, Ayumi, this may be just a game, but it's no joke."

"As lawyers, you must firmly believe in your clients and the defendant's innocence. Under this premise, any evidence or testimony that contradicts the facts you have deduced is wrong."

"As for false testimony and evidence, you need to rely on your own logic and reasoning to find out where they are wrong, and use your words as bullets to shatter those false testimonies and evidence."

The faces of the members of the Junior Detective Team all became serious, but since Xiang Yuanguang was willing to assist them as a lawyer's assistant, then this time the school referee should be a sure win -
Then, Xiang Yuanguang silently took a step back and protected the members of the Junior Detective League in front of him.

"Ah? Uncle Xiang Yuan, why is this?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was shocked, but the blue hedgehog responded calmly.

"This is your stage! Go ahead, Junior Detective Team, and let the God of Death see your wisdom and bravery!"

At this moment, [Death] pushed his plain glasses and looked at his hedgehog friend with an unfriendly look. He really had an urge to use an anesthetic needle on this guy, but it was not a good idea to do so in public.

Kobayashi Sumiko noticed the situation at the defense table and felt a little amused and helpless about the farce between Mukai Genmitsu and the Junior Detective Team, but she still knocked on the podium and spoke seriously.

"Okay, I declare that the class trial has begun. Please ask the prosecutor to explain the circumstances of this incident!"

As the prosecutor, Conan opened the [Court Record] in his hand - this was a notebook kindly provided by the teacher. Because this was a parent-teacher meeting, Conan and Uncle Maori came empty-handed.

"Okay, presiding judge. The reason for the class trial is that Yazaki Yasuji lost 1,000 yen in living expenses, and the person who could have received Yazaki's living expenses at the time was the defendant in this case, Haibara Ai."

"Since the only students in the classroom during lunch break were Ai Haibara and Yazaki Yashiji, after excluding the possibility that Yazaki miscounted the money, Haibara is most likely to have received the lost 1,000 yen, so... therefore, we are suing."

Conan pretended to read, and as he read, his expression became a little strained. As expected, an elementary school student is just an elementary school student. He can't even make up a story about losing money. If he were in charge, the case would definitely not be one that could be solved at a glance.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuanguang snapped his fingers, but the Junior Detective Team did not react. Instead, they turned around and looked at the blue hedgehog in confusion. Seeing this, the hedgehog sighed and shook his head.

I can’t carry it, I can’t carry it. At this time, you should slam the table and shout your objection. Boom!
I saw someone slapping the desk. The wooden table top and the hollow drawer made a loud noise even for an elementary school student, so much so that everyone's attention was attracted at the first moment.

"Objection! It's true that Yazaki-san and I were the only ones in the classroom during lunch break. However, if Yazaki-san had been in the classroom the whole time, he would have noticed my movement, so I wouldn't have been able to get 1,000 yen!"

"Because, Yazaki-san didn't say that I was the one who took the 1,000 yen————such a clear accusation, right? This means that he didn't witness the scene with his own eyes, so there is no evidence to prove that I took the 1,000 yen, so the prosecutor's accusation is actually meaningless!"

At this moment, Haibara Ai slammed the table and expressed her opinion as a defendant, which immediately made the members of the Junior Detective League react. Yes, they are lawyers, and sometimes they have to raise objections.

This isn't the Detective Boys' daily reasoning activity, and Conan can't just keep talking. They also have to express their own opinions, otherwise, won't Haibara be wronged?
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya reacted and immediately imitated Haibara Ai and slapped the table, but because he subconsciously restrained his strength, no sound was made. He subconsciously turned his head to look at his hand, then raised his head and said.

"Yes, that's right! The defense agrees with what Huibara-san said! If Yazaki-san stays in the classroom, then if Huibara-san wants to take the 1,000 yen, she can only do so in front of Yazaki-san!"

"So, Yazaki-san must have seen Huibara-san taking away the 1,000 yen. Then, the other students and parents who heard Yazaki-san crying and came over must have seen the 1,000 yen in Huibara-san's hand..."

"But no one saw Huibara-san with 1,000 yen in his hand. Therefore, the prosecutor's claim is invalid. There is no evidence to prove that Huibara-san took 1,000 yen!"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's sudden remarks surprised Genta who was standing next to him, but Genta Kojima, who claimed to be the captain of the Junior Detective Team, reacted immediately. He also slammed the table, and this time the sound was louder than Haibara Ai's.

"That's right, that's it! Conan, if this goes on, you won't be able to refute it!"

The parents were standing outside the classroom watching the class refereeing. When they saw this, they couldn't help but nod their heads. They felt that the class refereeing rehearsal for this mock trial was quite professional. However, they didn't know why both the defense and the defendant slammed the table when they refuted the prosecution.

Seriously, no one really thinks that whoever slams the table louder and more loudly in a courtroom will make more sense and be more convincing, right? No way? No one really thinks that, right?

When Kogoro Mori thought of what Genmitsu had done, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

It has to be said that Attorney Xiang Yuan, who is known as a rising star in the Tokyo legal world, even called an ace lawyer by some gossipers, and whose strength is second only to Eri, may really think so.

"No way to refute? That's not necessarily true, Yuantai, the plaintiff hasn't spoken yet!"

Conan pushed up his plain glasses, and a white light flashed through the lenses. The majesty of the god of death instantly frightened several members of the Junior Detective League and they took a step back.

Because they feel that the current Conan seems to have become more special and more dangerous than when they were together normally. Could it be that the current Conan is his heyday?

Whitening is three points weaker, blackening is twice as strong? !

"Your Honor, the prosecutor now asks the plaintiff to testify on this incident."
